Best places: Yakitori restaurants in Toshima, Japan

👍👍 This place is amazing! English menu as well, so welcoming, a great atmosphere with loads of energy but also a great relaxing playlist of music. The kitchen is open so you can see the chefs cooking the food as well, just brilliant and we wish we had found it sooner! Definitely a must, just head up t...

👍👍 Great value for the money! Very nice staff, good food, nice atmosphere. Our favourite was the special sauce.

👍👍 This place is always my favorite yakitori place. So delicious. Nice service. English menu is available.

👍👍 Cute tiny family operation. Very much a local hangout, we really enjoyed our evening here. The owner was so warm and welcoming. There is an English menu and it is comprehensive and they also have a photo album with pictures of the food which was really cute. They have several options for yakitori,...

😠 Food- ribs: it’s good but it’s not super special. Sashimi- was futsu Chicken- was so bad. Water took forever too, and it wasn’t crowded.

😠 Worst experience ever in Japan. Didn’t know there’s table charge per person until paying. Been told the food price were two or three times more expensive than it listed on top of the menu while we were paying. We asked for detailed paper receipt but they refused to provide. The stuff orally explains...

👍 <2023.9月> 旨辛揚げ定食とチキン南蛮も美味しそうだったので何度かおうかがいしました。 12時台は混んでいますが13時台は比較的空いています! カウンター席、テーブル席・小上がりがあってお一人様からグループでの食事に使い勝手の良いお店です。 お昼の定食は1300円（税込み）均一料金です。 どの定食も美味しくて気分に...

👍👍 This is a delicious yakitori restaurant. Whatever I ate was delicious and elegant. The ingredients must have been carefully selected. The general was also grilling the food without being boastful. It's a store you'll want to visit again and again.

😠 It’s hard for me to review this place, but I keep coming back to this: I did not enjoy the food. It was not objectively bad, plenty of people enjoy it, it’s just that… I didn’t? The meat itself was very interesting, definitely different than any chicken I’ve ever had. The cook on all the chicken wa...

👍 Reasonable with good service and food. They have good wine selections if you are into wine. Perfect for couples and small group gatherings.

👍 福井県民のソウルフード★ 小ぶりの串で、種類にもよりますが、2本～5本単位で300円～450円ほど。 カンター席に着座したのですが、カウンターの前にはあたたかいプレートがあり、串焼が冷めないような工夫も。 焼き鳥だけでなく、牛・豚もあり。 小ぶりだけど、凄く美味しいです。 注文前は「5本単位」に食べれるのかと不...

👍 店内は2人用の四角い小さなテーブルが所狭しと並ぶ省スペースぶり。 メニューは様々な焼きものを主軸に揚げものや軽い一品ものもあり、更にボードに日替わりのメニューも用意されています。 おでんっぽい出汁で煮られたモツ、大根や人参の塩煮込みは旨味たっぷり♪ ツナキムチはシンプルながらも非常に食べでが良く、これ...

👍👍 The omakase menu here is outstanding; staff are wonderful and friendly; the atmosphere is great. Go. (practical footnote: we were able to just walk in with no reservation when we arrived just before 8pm on a Saturday)

Beer & sake round out the menu at this no-nonsense, old-school tavern specializing in grilled offal.

😠 Never again. I've been here three times previously, and always thought the food was just alright. The all-you-can-drink lemon sour deal is pretty good though. I've been living in Japan for 31 years and speak Japanese fluently. I tried to get a seat here two nights ago. I told the host in Japanese...

👍👍 The set menu was amazing. Eight servings of chicken (thigh, gizzlet, quail egg, breast with wasabi, liver, chicken wing and chicken meatball) coupled with four vegetable dishes. Food, service, ambience and presentation were excellent. We got a front row seat to the head chef working his magic. He wa...

👍👍 The store in Ginza that I used to go to has closed, so I went to the Imperial Theater store. One yakitori was added (+320 yen) to the "Soboroju 1,080 yen" for lunch on weekdays. Originally, the meat dumplings and thigh meat are on top of the soboro, so add dumplings (tsukune). Isehiro's dumplings a...

😠 Food is good, but they overcharge tourists. Place is nice. Food was really good. We were happy with everything until we got our bill and it was 1,500 more than we ordered. Check was in Japanese but none of the items matched the prices and it was more items on the check too. We don't speak Japanese a...

👍👍 Traditional yakitori served omakase style. There are many courses with different chicken dishes ranging from pate to chicken soup and everything in between; very tasty and beautifully presented. The staff are very friendly. There is a two drink minimum per person.
